Day 18: With Jesus and Mary at the Cross
From the cross, Jesus sees his mother standing nearby with his beloved disciple, and he entrusts them to each other's care. Today's step invited us to stay with Jesus and Mary in this moment of shared suffering.

My heart breaks for His mother, watching silently as her Son dies, and then knowing she cannot change it.
The power of love.
I often see my mother struggling in her health and I feel useless , like I'm not doing enough and I realize, our lady's presence at the Cross although silent was powerful 💛
